THE OBLITERATOR progressed from his first outing to take the silver medal home at Saratoga in July and he could be the one to beat. Froutien and newcomer Thirsted aren't ruled out either.

SOCIAL HOUR hosed up at Monmouth Park on his most recent start and, based on that performance, he looks the one to beat. Trust Issues and Three B's are others to watch out for.

WHO'S THE KING struck by over two lengths at Saratoga on his latest outing and he is the one to side with. First Trumpet and Leading Contender are feared most.

ABRIGADO showed promise on his racecourse debut at Saratoga and Brad Cox's colt can use that experience to his advantage. Fourth Dimension and Rafa Junior appeal most of the newcomers.

The drop in grade might work the oracle for VIA DELLA SPIGA in a contest that appears to be wide open on paper. Doomed and Gotta Guy head the dangers.

A contest that may prove to be particularly informative, with only a tentative vote going to SCHOOLYARDSUPERMAN. Gordy and Dream Machine are others well worth considering.

BRITISH INVASION was second in a decent race at Saratoga on debut and gets the vote with that appearing to be the best form on offer. Woodster is an appealing newcomer, while Noble Dynasty should be wiser after last month's introduction.

THE PADDOCK PASTOR won well at Saratoga last month and looks worth following while on a roll. Saratoga Flash and Slapintheface are suggested as the pick of the rest.

A taking winner over this distance at Saratoga last time out, CLASSICIST is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up at the main expense of Makes Sense and Cut The Cord.

LUNA LOUSKA continues to go from strength to strength and stepping up in trip can bring about more improvement as she looks to land the four-timer. Love Appeals and Dontlookbackatall are leading contenders as well.

HEDGE THE RISK looks the one to beat if bouncing back to the form that saw him score at Saratoga on his penultimate outing. Catalina Crush and Maybern cannot be ruled out either.
